Event-based imaging in the real world – Use cases, Integration, Outlook
Discover how event-based vision sensors work and why they are transforming high-speed machine vision applications. In this video, IDS and Prophesee experts explain the differences between conventional frame-based imaging and event-based sensing, highlighting key benefits such as low data throughput, ultra-high temporal resolution and wide dynamic range.
You’ll learn how event-based cameras capture only changes in light intensity, enabling efficient processing and precise detection of fast movements. The session also introduces the new Hearth development platform and showcases practical industrial use cases, including particle monitoring, welding inspection and high-speed quality control.
